Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many secrets are hidden within the darkness of the jungle. Behold this one about a man, a woman, a black jaguar, and an ancient Mayan legend. When Andrea Granger was assigned to go to Honduras, ‘get inside and gather evidence’ against the DEA’s main suspect, she was determined to accomplish her mission with the same efficiency as in her previous assignments. But that was before she met her culprit, Brandon Shaw. He melted her heart and her resolve, and so did Naja, Brandon’s 300 pound black jaguar and closest companion. She quickly discovered there was much more to Brandon Shaw than met the eye, and just as quickly, she found her mission in jeopardy. Instead of arresting him, she became determined to rescue the flawed man of the jungle. But could she successfully extricate him from the web he had tangled himself in? As if that weren’t enough, she found that Brandon Shaw was somehow connected to a thousand year old Mayan legend which threatened to destroy everything. Unprepared, she found herself having to deal with an ancient spirit determined to kill her.
Download or read book Jaguar s Shadow written by Richard Mahler and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2009-09-01 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the nature writer Richard Mahler discovers that wild jaguars are prowling a remote corner of his home state of New Mexico, he embarks on a determined quest to see in the flesh a big, beautiful cat that is the stuff of legend--yet verifiably real. Mahler's passion sets in motion a years-long adventure through trackless deserts, steamy jungles, and malarial swamps, as well as a confounding immersion in centuries-old debates over how we should properly regard these powerful predators: as varmints or as icons, trophies or gods? He is drawn from border badlands south to Panama's rain forest along a route where the fate of nearly all wildlife now rests in human hands. Mahler's odyssey introduces him to unrepentant poachers, pragmatic ranchers, midnight drug-runners, ardent conservationists, trance-induced shamans, hopeful biologists, stodgy bureaucrats, academic philosophers, macho hunters, and gentle Maya Indians. Along the way, he is forced to reconsider the true meaning of his search--and the enduring symbolism of the jaguar.

Download or read book Mending The Past Healing The Future With Soul Retrieval written by Alberto Villoldo, Ph.D. and published by Hay House, Inc. This book was released on 2006-05-01 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “While everyone has a future,” Alberto Villoldo says, “only certain people have a destiny.” This work shows you how to find and manifest yours... and when you do, you’ll find that your life will never be the same. In this fascinating book by psychologist and medical anthropologist Alberto Villoldo, he discusses ways in which you can heal yourself and your loved ones by employing practices used by shamans of the Americas—which, until now, have been inaccessible to most of the world. The shamans of old called this powerful process journeying. Within these pages, you’ll discover that you have a four-chambered soul in the same way you have a four-chambered heart. In the first chamber, you’ve stored away the memory of a wound that derailed your destiny. In the second, you’ve kept the limiting beliefs and soul contracts that you entered into at the time of your loss. However, in the third chamber, you can recover the grace and trust that will make you whole again; and in the fourth, you’ll be able to remember the calling that is your very purpose for being alive. Using several myths and legends from around the world, along with stories from his real-life clients, Villoldo shares how heroes have journeyed over time to recover their lost souls and find their destinies. The practices of soul retrieval and destiny retrieval are also described in rich, practical detail, illustrating how you can become your own shaman and accomplish in a few sessions of journeying what can take years to do in a psychological setting. The book also explains how time is like a river that courses lazily to the sea, and on which most are content to drift along, but that deep under its surface is a stream that leads both back to its source and forward to infinity. It describes how ancient “seers” known as the Laika learned to navigate these currents of time—the time lines—thus teaching you how to find and travel along your own time lines to your unique, individual destiny.

Download or read book Touching the Jaguar written by John Perkins and published by Berrett-Koehler Publishers. This book was released on 2020-06-16 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author of Confessions of an Economic Hitman details the experience that transformed him into an activist. When New York Times–bestselling author John Perkins was a young Peace Corps volunteer, his life was saved by an Amazonian shaman who taught him to “touch the jaguar”—to transform his fears into positive action. He went on to become an “economic hit man” (EHM), convincing developing countries to build huge infrastructure projects that put them perpetually in debt to the World Bank and other US-controlled institutions. Although he sincerely believed this was the best model for economic development, he came to realize it was really a new form of colonialism. Returning to the Amazon, he saw the destructive impact of his EHM work. But he also was inspired by a previously uncontacted tribe that touched its jaguar by uniting with its enemies to defend its territory against invading oil and mining companies. For the first time, Perkins details how shamanism converted him from an EHM to a crusader for transforming a failing Death Economy (exploiting resources that are declining at accelerating rates) into a Life Economy (cleaning up pollution, recycling, and developing green technologies). He discusses the power our perceptions have for molding reality. And he provides a strategy for each of us to change our lives and defend our territory—the earth—against current destructive policies and systems. “This eloquent book inspires us to create a new reality of what it means to be humans on this magnificent planet.” —Deepak Chopra “Touching the Jaguar is a heartfelt exploration into the powers to change ourselves, transform businesses, and renew society—powers indigenous shamans have cultivated for millennia and we must embrace to dream the world in a new way.” —Alberto Villoldo, PhD, bestselling author of One Spirit Medicine and Shaman, Healer, Sage “Perkins is a master storyteller. In this story of deceit, divided loyalties, and ultimate redemption, he draws us to a deeper understanding of ourselves and the possibilities of a human rebirth and brings us together on the path to a future that works for the whole of life.” —David Korten, author of When Corporations Rule the World

Download or read book The Mayan Red Queen written by Leonide Martin and published by Made For Success Publishing. This book was released on 2015 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ancient Maya city of Lakam Ha has a new, young ruler, K'inich Janaab Pakal. His mother and prior ruler, Sak K’uk, has selected his wife, the next queen. Lalak is a shy and homely young woman from a nearby city who relates better to animals than people. She is chosen as Pakal’s wife because of her pristine lineage to B’aakal dynasty founders ̶ but also because she is no beauty. Arriving at Lakam Ha, she is overwhelmed by its sophisticated, complex society and expectations of the royal court. Her mother-in-law, Sak K’uk, is critical and hostile, resenting any intrusion between herself and her son. She chose Lalak to avoid being displaced in Pakal’s affections, and does everything she can to keep it this way. The official name she confers on Lalak exposes her view of the girl as a breeder of future rulers: Tz’aabk’u Ahau, the Accumulator of Lords who sets the royal succession. Lalak struggles to learn her new role and prove her worth, facing challenges in her relationship with Pakal, for he is enamored of a beautiful woman banished from Lakam Ha by his mother. Pakal’s esthetic tastes and love of beauty affect his view of his homely wife. Lalak, however, is fated to play a pivotal role in Pakal’s mission to restore the spiritual portal to the Triad Gods that was destroyed in a devastating attack by archenemy Kan. Through learning sexual alchemy, Lalak brings the immense creative force of sacred union to rebuild the portal, but first Pakal must come to view his wife in a new light. In modern times, ten years after the discovery of the Red Queen's tomb, archeologist Francesca is studying new research about this mysterious royal woman in Mérida, Mexico. She teams up with British linguist Charlie to decipher an ancient manuscript left by her deceased grandmother. It provides clues about her grandmother's secrets that propel them into exploring her family history in a remote Maya village.
Download or read book Dwellings of Enchantment written by Bénédicte Meillon and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2020-10-27 with total page 395 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dwellings of Enchantment: Writing and Reenchanting the Earth offers ecocritical and ecopoetic readings that focus on multispecies dwellings of enchantment and reenchant our rapport with the more-than-human world. It sheds light on the marvelous entanglements between humans and other life forms coexisting with us–entanglements that, when fully perceived, call onto humans to shift perspectives on both the causes and solutions to current ecological crises. Working against the disenchantment of humans’ relationships with and perceptions of the world entailed by a modern ontology, this book illustrates the power of ecopoetics to attune humans to the vibrant matter both within and outside of us. Braiding indigenous with non-indigenous worldviews, this book tackles ecopoetics emerging from varying locations in the world. It underscores the postmodernist, remythologizing processes going on in many ecopoetic texts, via magical realist modes and mythopoeia.
